VN Unity Netorase Phone [v0.20] [Le Stag]

[niennunb]

Which is something I'm considering adressing, by renaming the routes. The Dom/Sub are too BDSM-focused, and give different expectations than what I'm aiming for. I'm not really writing a Dominant route, I'm writing a "Confident Stag" route.

Hello, first I wanted to say that I loved the new update, especially seeing more of Laura and MC together.

But I also have a question : when we start a chapter from memories, we can choose our route, but not sub-choices (the ones we see in notes : condom y/n, other girls y/n, etc.). Is it planned to give players the possibility to change that too when starting from memories ?

Will there be NTR, non-consensual cheating, breakups, your girlfriend being stolen, etc...?
No. I'm aiming for a "wholesome" Netorase story, with people communicating with each other, and enjoying their kinks in a positive way. That's the story I've wanted to tell since the game has started, and this is not going to change. If you're looking for any of that, I would suggest to find another game.

I agree, I very much enjoyed both chapters of this latest update. The first of the two was very spicy in my route, and even though many of my dialogue choices seemingly had no impact on the story, as it was mostly a retelling of past events, I was glad to be able to make them and have the Laura respond appropriately. Some of the questions and dialogue towards the end of the chapter was VERY spicy! I do hope there will be some consequences to these, as I see they are written down in the 'notes'.

The second chapter was much tamer, but with a light sprinkling of some spicy replies from Laura based on previous events and choices. I didn't enjoy it as much as the previous chapter, but as a part of the whole game I find it to be just as important to the whole simmering narrative. I'd rather travel up and down several valleys indefinitely, than climbing one single mountain to the top and have no where else to go.

And your feedback about selecting sub-choices when starting from memories I agree with 100%. I need it, especially on the phone version, where the vignettes sometimes end without continuing to a normal chapter. This has forced me to use the Memories, and the default choices there are not exactly as I've played them.

Le Stag has done a phenomenal job, as always

 

[Illustrivity]

That kind of content was the most requested, and the reception I got was, globally, very positive. A lot of people want these shared moments with Laura. They're integral to the relationship.

Hey man, no need to explain anything to me (an occasional payer but usual freeloader) if that's what the patrons want. We're all just pirates filling the air here anyway, and we'll probably continue complaining, even if it's wholly contradictory to the patrons' tastes. With that said, patrons might fall to the sunken cost fallacy (and thus be less objective in what they scrutinize), and I'm sure some part of you keeps coming back here to take the temperature of the crowd that - for one reason or another - sail the high seas, as it were, potentially in hopes of expanding your audience, so here we are.

Also, I hope Tara content is somewhere high on the requests list. I will never stop needing more Tara content.

Le Stag - feature request regarding the Photo "app" & message history

* Text history please

I notice there's was a loss of Text messing history between v.16 and v.17. I don't know if previous releases did not keep message history. It's kind of important to have message history in a Text Messaging narrative driven game. It gives context and refreshes players of the "choices" they made.

* Please create a "next" & "previous" mechanic when looking at a "full screen" photo. On normal phones we can swipe left and right. In the game we must back out of a photo to view the next one.

* Please create a "Slide Show" for the Photo "app". This is normal feature on IRL phone apps. It doesn't need to be customizable by the player. It could be timed slide show of all the photos.

Slide show 'playlist" could be via pre-made by "tags" - who sent them photo, who is in the photo, etc. For example:
- one with MC in it
- From Ashley would have all of hers (club photos, etc) VS Of Ashley where she's teasing MC (or sending Laura pics sucking off MC)
- From Nathan is different (having fashion shots) VS Of Nathan (when he's using Laura)

tyvm for very interesting game.

And as I've said. while I wouldn't complain if he added any of the stuff he said he doesn't want to have.
I appreciate him making a positive NTrase game.
It doesn't have to end in betrayal jealousy and destruction every time.
That's also why I said I hope the dev has something cooking for the next few updates. I want this game to be the best it can be.
Usually even if some disagree only happens when the dev makes what the dev wants.
Criticism constructive or otherwise is always good, dismissing it as hate or complaints is stupid that's why the AAA game branch has gone to shit and it's by no means easy to sift through and determine what is valid critisism and what isn't.
It's easier to just live in a bubble and ignore it. Like many devs here do and if that's the right thing to do or not is extremely hard to say. You can't know that since it's not the choice you made you can't reload and try another

I agree, I'd love to see a more NTR-style game, but he said he wont. Maybe in a different game. Which makes sense. Because reaching too wide usually makes development collapse.

I think this game is missing a looot of QoL features, but judging from my interactions with the dev, he doesn't have much interest on implementing this stuff, focusing only on the new chapters.

 

[justforlustdoll]

The APK isn't in a zip file. If you have a zip file, that's not the Android version, that's the Windows one.

This is what I see on Gofile. The unzipped file is an apk, and when I try to use package installer on it it does try to update the existing app, but it just ends in an error

Apparently you have to unninstall the previous version and install the new one, but since the game don't have a export functions, your saves gets deleted unless you manually backup them, and some phone models don't let you do it.

I think there's a function that lets me skip to the right chapter right? Do I lose the gallery pics etc tho?

The issue is that QoL takes time to implement properly, and that everyone is only clamouring for more content. So i'm adding QoL by small touches.

You can't skip chapters, you can replay them, but you have to first play them naturally
However, if you do that, you can only choose the main path (sub - dom), not the actual settings you chose (like who fucked Laura raw first, if Nathan did anal etc)

As for gallery, there is an option to show cross runs gallery, which shows you all images you've unlocked at any point, not just the current run

The thing is, if you're trying to unlock more images, using this functionality isn't the way
Because you can't choose the parameters, you can really control the routes fully
So for that, you need to run through the full game and make different choices

 

[Le Stag]

Until 1.0, you can start any chapter that way, even ones you haven't played already.

Yeah, I'm using condoms in my game despite not liking it because I lost my save once (I think some update broke saves, don't remember) and I got one from someone here, now I don't know how to change it. Hahaha
There should be options for those stuff on the game settings (and also an import/export save, which I asked before), or at least the game should ask we again (Laura asked us to have anal like three times on a recent chapter, even of we refused it earlier).

Really?
I wasn't aware of that
Not sure why I would want to skip ahead of the great content in this game
But I stand corrected

If you want a good save, you could just replay the game, put it on fast forward and just choose the options you wanted, then make sure to save
And if you're not sure about specific choices, use F5 & F9 to quick save and quick load, if you want to make sure you choose the correct options (especially useful for situations where you need a specific set of correct choices, like getting Tara's selfie from Ashley's place)

I really recommend that you create a savefile you are fully comfortable with, for the best experience in this game
It doesn't even take much if you use fast forward, you could probably set it up in an hour, maybe even less

Thanks for the reply, but man, I don't have much time for that stuff, so I definitely won't spent one hour replaying this just to change some variables.
For me that's an QoL issue. No game should make simple stuff like that take that much time on purpose, just for the sake of it. And differently from other QoL stuff, this one the dev seems adamant of keeping that way...

Well, if you really don't want to try this, I have another suggestion for you, that should take less time
Go here, it has a set of savefiles that gave 100% of images for previous update
Load them, find the one you like best, save it in a way you'll recognize, and just continue playing from that file
It should give you plenty of choice, so you'll get the best path available without directly replaying the game
